Description H.J. Lu 2005-01-30 18:45:28 UTC

When I was checking glibc from 2005-01-30's CVS on i686, I got

/export/build/gnu/glibc-nptl/build-i686-linux/iconv/gconv-
modules.cache.29517 /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache differ: byte 
15, line 1
make[4]: *** [test-iconvconfig] Error 1

[hjl@gnu-10 glibc-nptl]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache
glibc-2.3.4-2

I have no problems on RHEL4/x86_64, RHEL3/x86_64 nor RHEL3/ia64.

Here is the glibc bug report

Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2005-03-10 09:26:50 UTC

This is fixed in glibc-2.3.4-2.7.  Thanks.

Comment 4 Ulrich Drepper 2005-06-30 19:02:09 UTC

I'm closing this.  It's not really a RHEL issue since we don't support you
compiling glibc and using it with the system.

Comment 5 H.J. Lu 2005-06-30 19:08:26 UTC

I am not sure if I understand what you were trying to say. I did

# cvs co libc
...
# .../configure
# make
# make xcheck

and got the faulure on RHEL 4. Were you saying I shouldn't build glibc
on RHEL4? Do you have a stable Linux distribution you can recommend for
working on glibc?

Comment 6 Jakub Jelinek 2005-06-30 19:25:19 UTC

RHEL4 U1 included the fix.
